Elliot Havok has created the Quarter Century Belt that would look great with raw denim jeans. The belt comes in either Natural or Black and cost $49.

Elliot Havok Quarter Century Belt is made of premium vegetable-tanned leather built to last and back with a 25 year guarantee. The thick leather belt is stitch-less and cut from quality leather. Compared to the mall belts that are made of genuine leather and PU leather the Centry Belt stands out for it’s quality and durability. The natural belt color should get better with age with slight darkening. I wear a size 31/32 jeans and the 34 belt fit me fine so you may want to size up 2 inches.

Elliot Havok has created a nice casual belt that would look awesome paired with your favorite jeans. It is a belt that will last you years to come and look better over time. The belt is only $49 and made in batches that is ship out weekly.

I am always on the look out for a good wallet. Saddleback was nice enough to send me their Wallet Bi-fold Medium Carbon Black for review. I have reviewed quite a few wallets ranging from $10 to $160. And I was pleasantly surprised by Saddleback’s offering when it came in the mail.

Saddleback Leather Company is known for their leather bags, satchels, and other leather products. The Wallet Bi-fold Medium Carbon Black was my first product I reviewed from the company and I was looking forward to reviewing their products. The Bi-fold wallet is no flash but all substance. The quality of leather is the best I’ve seen in any wallet I reviewed. The wallet comes in Carbon Black, Chestnut, Dark Coffee Brown, and Tobacco Brown.

This wallet isn’t for everyone. If you’re looking for a slim, multi colored wallet with a cool design then you’re looking in the wrong place. But this wallet is built to lasts for a very long time. Anyone who bought an expensive leather wallet only to have it look raggedy in a years use would appreciate this rugged wallet. This is not made of some smooth leather, rather full grain leather which is built to last.

The wallet has 6 slots for credit cards, business cards, and ID. It also has 2 interior slots along with a large slot for your cash. I chose Carbon black and the stitching is also in black. The front side is branded with Saddleback Leather on it. The wallet is a bit on the thick side but slides nicely into a back pocket.

Before Saddleback Bi-Fold wallet I thought all wallets were the same quality. But that has change the first time I touched their wallet. It’s better than $100 wallets I reviewed from other companies. And that it only costs $45 for this quality of wallet makes it worth every penny. This would make a perfect gift for any guy who wants a wallet built to last back with a 100 year warranty against defects.
